I've used Agent, Powergrab, Grab-it and Newsleecher. Each has their pros and cons.
With my usage (downloading large amounts of complete cd's, putting them in a seperate directory), the last three are good. I dropped Powergrab because it can only handly one server (or you have to install it twice). Grab-it does allow that, so I used that. I've recently tried Newsleecher, because it *really* uses more than one server (downloading posts from all servers and putting them together). However, I couldn't get Newsleecher to download the headers for multiple groups in a batch, something grab-it can do.
At the moment, I'd say a mix between Grab-it and Newsleecher would be best, but in the absence of such a program, I use Grab-it.
